Sunday Evangelium - Totus2us

Fr Marcus: "What is curious about our Gospel today and what baffles me when I look around the world is that people are not interested in receiving the 'golden ticket'. You can't even give it away! People aren't even bothered enough to investigate whether it's real or counterfeit. This is the inscrutable mystery of human apathy. Our Gospel highlights it today: people simply won't come to the marriage feast. The other curious insight in our Gospel is connected with the man who is without his wedding outfit, the man who doesn't have the garment. This has perplexed the minds of writers and theologians for centuries: What is that garment? The Fathers of the early Church teach us that that wedding garment which is needed to enter the feast is the garment of grace. .. This grace which is first given to us in baptism is a capacity and a new power put within us, which makes us children of God, not metaphorically speaking but really. By grace we begin to share here and now, amazingly, the life of God Himself." Music by
